Summary: 2.2 is missing Misc/Makefile.pre.in?

Initial Comment:
If I try to build 
Python-2.2/Demo/extend
using
make_shared, I get the message:

% make_shared
cp: cannot stat `../../Misc/Makefile.pre.in': No such
file or directory
make: Makefile.pre.in: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.pre.in'. 
Stop.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. 
Stop.

Since we're trying to encourage using distutils for
building extensions,  I have updated the "extending
demo".

I've attached a tar file containing:
setup.py 	# simple distutils script
README # revised instructions
test_xx.py # a simple test script for the 'xx' module

If you find the distutil docs lacking, please submit a new
bug report in the Documentation category.

I understand that there is plenty of documentation for
distutils, but are there (enough) other examples of
extending, including defining objects and methods?

Thanks for noticing. The removal of Misc/Makefile.pre.in is
intentional -- indeed we recommend using distutils and
setup.py. But rather than using your setup.py, I decided
that we don't need a demo -- there's plenty of doco for
distutils. So I've just erased the Demo/extend directory.
